3 anti-inflammatory teas: do they work?

Observador8 September 2026 at 15:44

An article addresses the effectiveness of three teas with supposed anti-inflammatory properties, questioning whether they really work to create a less pro-inflammatory environment in the body.

According to the publication, these three beverages may contribute to this goal, although the article does not specify which teas are mentioned.

Nutritionist Mariana Chaves is cited as an expert source to clarify the differences between tea and supplements, warning that these two formats are not equivalent in terms of effectiveness or concentration of active compounds.

The article suggests that, although teas may offer anti-inflammatory benefits, it is important to understand the limitations of this approach compared to specific supplements.
